Had an empty cassette case labeled with this show and finally came across the actual tape today. Here's an hour of the 2 hour show. Paused it a couple times to edit out commercials. Geronimo takes the first mic break at 4:24 with guest Dave Lotwin (D&D Recordings) who was there to world premiere The D&D All-Stars "1, 2 Pass It" joint. Next break at 16:26 and then again at 36:21 with Mr. Dave. Peep the party Dave was promoting at Club Demeraras....M.O.P., O.C., Group Home, Jeru and DJ Premier spinning. Tell me you don't miss the 90s. Last break at 59:33 with shout outs from Lil Dap and Greg Nice.

These are Rap records that have been on Heavy rotation on my turntable lately. There's tracks from Bolaji, Casual, and Soul King Productions from their latest Dope Folks releases, (which you can get at dopefolksrecords.com) along with 12"s that I've been spinning lately. There's well knowns to unknowns. Bad N-Flewenz from Detroit is always on Heavy Rotation because it's a crazy banger. Enjoy the sampler

Dope mix from DJ MK...."Here's a mix of some of my favorite late 80's and 90's Hip Hop. This mix was recorded live for Itch Fm Dec 13th 2016. I wanted to go in with some joints that were huge at the time but kinda forgotten about now. Its a sick mix even if i say so myself. Enjoy People."

Jazz-hop is one of the finest subgenres of hip hop music. If you are familiar modern jazz-hop, you might recognize the UK group The Slipmat Brothers (a/k/a Jazz Spastiks). Indie hip hop producers and DJ's have dropped several wonderful projects, e.g. "The Product", "Mode 7", "Unkut Fresh", "Portals" and "Made For The Underground". Also The Slipmat Brothers have skills and knowledge of creating mixes. "Reminiscing the 90's" is proof of that. The British duo have provided a longer mix, which is split into three parts. The project is based on the 90's rap - you can find a lot of better or lesser known hip hop acts on this tape. Golden age hip hop serving by Coconut Delight and Mr. Manyana.

Pete Rock destroys Freddie Foxxx's "So Tough" right out the gate. Marley and Pete get on the mic shortly after (5:02) followed by more mic breaks at 37:05, 41:28, 57:16 and 61:19.
Dope selections and exclusives as usual.

Mick Boogie:- "A Tribe Called Quest is one of my favorite groups of all time... in any genre of music. After seeing Michael Rapaport's amazing documentary on the group, I felt inspired to put together a mix and this is the end result. This is NOT a greatest hits mix. This mix is for the true Tribe fans only... the die-hards who know every lyric and remember every interlude. I thought it would be cool to basically create the "lost" Tribe album... with all the rare songs, demos, limited-edition remixes, and collaborations you may have missed over the years. I hope when you enjoy this as much as I do, and hear some things you have never heard before. Special thank you to UNDRCRWN for the amazing artwork. Long live A Tribe Called Quest!

Here goes more than a full show of Stretch & Bob as they went about 20 minutes overtime. Seems like bad weather made the "Jazz Man" late. But that just makes for a better SNB show. DJ E-Kim sets off the first mic break (8:55) followed by Souls of Mischief (40:05) who do what they do best at 43:56. Redman displays his DJ skills (74:14) before him and Diezzle Don get on for an interview (79:22). And of course that's followed up by a freestyle session from the two (91:58) once the right beat is chosen. As if the show couldn't get any better you have Mr. Voodoo, L-Swift and Dante Pacino from Natural Elements up on the show (137:21) with another freestyle session (142:04). Some mic banter with Reef and friends (186:39), freestyle from Jersey's Tone The Butcher (192:53), live phone calls (199:27) and then last mic break of the night to sign off at 261:43
